TV Star/Talking Head Sunny Hostin: Climate Change Caused the Eclipse

Sunny Hostin has been roasted by her co-hosts on The View after she claimed the solar eclipse, New York City's recent earthquake and the arrival of cicadas are all linked to climate change.

The View co-hosts had a heated debate on Monday as they tried to explain the science behind the total solar eclipse, which saw millions of Americans taking to the streets to view the rare celestial phenomenon.

Hostin, 55, began by asserting that the total solar eclipse, the 4.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked New York City last week, and the imminent arrival of trillions of red-eyed insects are possible signs of climate change.

'We have a solar eclipse. We have the earthquake,' Hostin said. 'All those factors together might lead one to believe that either climate change exists or something significant is happening.'

Co-host Joy Behar countered her claims, saying: 'Except earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It's underground. It can't.'

The discussion started with Alyssa Farah Griffin, The View co-host and former White House communications director for Trump, joking about 'apocalypse' theories surrounding the rare phenomenon.

'So, what's kind of crazy is with the earthquake on Friday and then the eclipse today, people are having all sorts of conspiracies about the end of the world. 

'And then I read online that the earthquake epicenter was actually at Bedminster in New Jersey. Fun fact - it originated with Trump.'

Hostin chimed in but had trouble pronouncing 'cicadas', with co-host Whoopi Goldberg attempting to correct her. 

'I learned that the cicadas are coming,' Hostin said, pronouncing the word as 'sick-ah-duhs,' and Goldberg repeated, 'Cicadas,' with the pronunciation of 'sick-cay-duhs.' 

'It's the first time in like a hundred years,' Hostin continued, attempting to prove her point as Goldberg interrupted.

'No, no, no. There are two different kinds of cicadas. It happens every 17 years,' Goldberg said firmly.

Two different broods of cicada will emerge across more than a dozen states this year, mating and laying millions more eggs.

The insects - known for the screaming noise they make - hibernate in either 13- or 17-year cycles, but a group from each will surface together for the first time since the 19th century.

Hostin was not deterred by her co-hosts, as she continued: 'All those things together, would maybe lead one to believe that either climate change exists, or something is really going on,' Hostin said. 

'Or Jesus is returning,' Farah Griffin joked, followed by Behar making a distinction between the earthquake and climate change.

Behar stated that the earthquake couldn't possibly be caused by climate change because it occurred underground. 

'How about the warming of the planet?' Hostin questioned her. 

'No, it happens,' Whoopi Goldberg said. 'And the eclipse, they've known about the eclipse coming because eclipses happen, and they actually can say when these things are going to happen.' 

Total solar eclipses occur when the moon moves directly in front of the sun - not to be confused with the reverse occurrence, which would be a lunar eclipse (when the earth gets between the moon and the sun).
